This Memory is looking a little short on nostalgia! Have you got anything you could add?

Does anyone else remember this? It was a small bottle of fruit-flavoured drink - a bit like Vimto, I remember I used to be able to buy it whenever we went on holiday to the Isle Of Wight when I was a kid.

    Klerksdorp North West. My husband found an empty Hubbly bubbly bottle when servicing a tower crane by a local mine. I did not get to taste it, but would have loved to.

    Cape Town, South Africa; have just bought a Hublly Bubbly (shop) fridge, roughly 3 months AFTER giving away the only bottle I ever found, to a fellow collector who had the large ‘Advertising Button’ for Hubbly Bubbly… Now on the hunt to find a Hubbly Bubbly bottle to go with my fridge; pics of fridge once I have stripped off the paint that was painted over it…..grrr! Thanks,mChris,mCT; info@flyingbrick.co.za

    Yes! I drank it too on the Isle of Wight on holiday as a child. In the children's room at the Propellor Inn on Bembridge Airfield. Red formica tables and pub singing. Great memories of happy times. I was set though on the orange flavour, I can still feel the bubbles on the bottle in my hands...

    Hi,was having a clearout of my spare room and found a steel sign advertising Hubbly Bubbly,i Googled it and it led me to this page,interesting to read the comments.Was there a South African and British version? I think the sign i have must be a British one as i am in the U.K myself.I would post a picture of it,but i don't think there is a facility to do so. But if anyone was interested in buying it,(i see in the comments there are a few people who collect Hubbly Bubbly memorabilia) perhaps i could Email a picture of it.Thanks,Kenny.

    I also have a lot of empty bottles and double unopened bottles of various flavours. I am a collector of Hubbly Bubbly items and I am SERIOUSLY looking for unopened Hubbly Bubbly Cola flavour bottles in tact, as well as any other Hubbly Bubbly items available from those years.

        Hi Neils, Unfortunately I can not be of help on your request. I would also love to have such ad material in my collection. I also collect any memorabilia of Hubbly Bubbly I can lay my hands on but old ad boards and stuff are very expensive and not easy to come by.

      Hi, I realize this is an old post but hopefully you are still out there! I live in Canada and about 30 years ago I bought a small bottle with the contents still in it. It is called hubbly bubbly cola Baby size. I have always wondered its history. The label is in great condition and I am sure the cap is original. It is about 6 inches tall I could send you a picture if I had your email.

    I am looking for any unopened/opened bottles of hubbly bubbly to purchase for my Mother, as she often talks about this soft drink when discussing childhood memories. (Johannesburg area)

    we always holidayed in norfolk and one my fondest memory as a child was the great taste of the hubbly bubbly drink we find on great yarmouth market,the green one my top favourite,think was lemon n lime to wash down the now long gone matheson cakes we always had each day or the lovely chip stalls [luckily still there].. wonder if any one remember the real fruit ice creams sold on a stall on yarmouth sea front near the oasis

Do you remember these?
